    He was the worst at the time but Trump is far worse. Trump’s corruption is unprecedented. Reagan would be called a communist if he ran today. Reagan’s answer to Americans complaining about illegal immigration was amnesty and legal permanent residency for all.

      Reagan was crazy enough to sit down and work with people like Tip O’Neil (democrat speaker of the house). I can’t imagine any republican doing that now.

        I feel like this was mostly because they hadn’t completely solidified the echo chamber yet, if Reagan were president today I dunno if he’d be better or worse
